by pbb on Ever Evolving

Description

Remarkable on my first audition in my system. So pre-amps are sound processors after all! Can't wait to hear more.

    • Rega P9
    Very British, what more can I say
    • Rega RB-1000
    Everybody screams: "why no VTA adjustment". Well, just because.
    • Ortofon Kontrapunkt B
    Worked hard to set it up, still some work to do
    • Audio Research PH-5
    Now have the gain that was missing straight in without the transformer.
    • Sony SCD-XA9000ES
    Quite impressive build quality and sound both for CD and SACD reproduction
    • Adcom GFT-555 mkII
    Seldom listen to radio. Good enough for me. Should get an outdoor antenna.
    • Audio Research REF-2 mkII
    A marked improvement. So preamps are sound processors after all!
    • Digiflex Studioflex C6-XX-C4
    Inexpensive balanced cable from pre to monoblocks. Will do for now.
    • Nordost Blue Heaven
    About as much money as I want to spend on cables...
    • Infinity Prelude MTS
    the Rodney Dangerfields of large speaker systems
    • Audioquest King Cobra
    I liked the colour of the jacket
    • Tara Labs RSC Prime 500
    Needed single wire, found these for small change.

I have the Preludes as well in a dual purpose set up with an Anthem D1, PS Audio HCA2 for the fronts and just recently switched from Audioquest Pikes Peak to MIT MH750 Plus S2s and the difference was remarkable. I have AQ Jaguar balanced interconnects and looking for a way to mellow out the highs just a tad. My room is awful, and there isn't anything I can do at the present time about that. Any suggetions would be useful.
